The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has published a report that looks at the problem of the significant number of young people in the UK who are not in education, employment or training. 'Lost Talent - Not in Education, Employment or Training' describes how the number of 'NEETs' has risen over the last decade or so. Currently around 10 per cent of young people in Britain are NEET, compared with 6 per cent in the USA and 4.5 per cent in Germany. There is also considerable regional variation in the UK with, for example, a much larger proportion of young people who are NEET in the North East compared with the East of England.
